Government Accountability

Your Watchdog in Washington

When I worked as an investigative journalist in the Quad-Cities, I took my watchdog role for the families we served very seriously. That’s the same approach I take to the work that I do every day in Congress.

That’s why I’ve established a watchdog task force in my office to root out problems in the community, get to the bottom of them and develop solutions for our families. It’s also why I’ve made it a top priority to provide the highest quality constituent services possible for individuals and families in our community.

If you need assistance with an issue or think there’s a problem in your community that’s not being addressed, I strongly urge you to contact my office by clicking here.
